How many solutions does the system of equations have? y = 5x + 7 and 3y - 15x = 18 a.one b. two c. infinitely many d. none

OpenStudy (kropot72):

If you put each equation into the form y = mx + b the answer should be clear.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They have the same slope...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 5? would that mean that it only has one solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If two lines have the same slope they are parallel if they don't lie on top of each other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it does'nt have a solution at all then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do parallel lines cross?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then no, there is no solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you (:
